1. Do you use exception objects? If so, which one and why? If not, why not?
No. I prefer to die() or confess() when I hit errors that I can't handle. Why drag things out?

2. If you don't use exception objects, what would entice you to use them?
I don't like the idea of exceptions. Instead of handling a problem where you find it, you get an ugly COME FROM mechanism. I find a gazillion try/catch blocks (aka eval/die) to be distracting.

4. Is objectifying exceptions in the DIE handler a bad idea?
Dunno. It isn't something I've ever really considered before.
